Image::...stScript(3)
β¨ NAME β¨
Image::ExifTool::PostScript β bestie, this is the little module that reads meta information out of PostScript files π
Heads up: the page header calls it Image::...stScript(3) and it lives under User Contributed Perl Documentation, so if you went looking for it in the man pages, that's where it's at π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
okay so plot twist: you don't actually call this yourself. It's not a "you summon it" situation, it's a "it shows up on its own" situation β¨
This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.
So like, no cap, you literally never have to use it. ExifTool handles that for you when it needs it, periodt π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
This code reads meta information from EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), PS (PostScript) and AI (Adobe Illustrator) files π
That's the whole vibe. Three file flavors, one module, all the metadata π
